Abstract (en)
A control head for a thermostatic valve is disclosed which comprises a housing, within which is contained a sensing element (100). The sensing element (100) has a body and an actuating member, the actuating member being operative to move along an axis (A) with respect to the body in response to change in ambient temperature. There is a carrier (102) within the housing. There is further provided connecting means (42) whereby the housing can be secured to a flow valve (10). The body of the sensing element (100) is disposed on the carrier (102) and the actuating member of the sensing element (100) projects from the body such that it can operate a flow valve (10) to which the control head is attached. A user control (61), which may be constituted by part of the housing, is rotatable about an axis parallel to or coaxial with the operating axis (A) of the sensing element. Such rotation causes liner movement of the carrier (102) parallel to the operating axis but causing substantially no axial movement of the housing with respect to the connecting means (42). <IMAGE>
